A side story or a spinoff of of a published work. It is not considered as a prequel or a sequel. Some gaidens are just stories retold from another character's perspective, or a flashback.
In a gaiden of Dragon Knights, by Mineko Ohkami, Rune has a nightmare of everyone becoming crossdressers.

Ninja Gaiden is the long-running Tecmo action series of video games. Originating as an arcade brawler, the series' most notable titles on home consoles are the three titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the recent Xbox title (and its rerelease titled "Ninja Gaiden Black"), which was the first Ninja Gaiden title in over a decade.

The last title especially is a particularly awesome game, the kind of game that isn't afraid to kick your ass (but without cheating you, because cheating is for wimps and commies). It's the type of game that the disgraceful "casual gamer" will give up on because it's "too hard," but anyone with the proper combination of brains and balls can't get enough of such an awesome game. In fact, if the term "too hard" exists in your vocabulary, you have no brains nor balls.
Ninja Gaiden is so sweet you'll want to crap your pants...in a good way. That is, unless you suck at video games and life.

The disrespectful act of sneaking up naked, on an unsuspecting woman during sex, bending over and farting in her face while she has her eyes closed, disappearing before shes opens them leaving her no choice but to ask "what was that?'' this will only count if someone is fucking her and she is face up, also for best results her head should be slightly hanging off the bed.
last night davenport and I ran a train on this army chick and while he was fucking her I pulled a ninja gaiden.

this chick was so stupid I had my boy pull a ninja gaiden on her.

while pence was having sex with his girl I ran in there real quick and pulled a ninja gaiden
